This is a simple app for calculating, displaying and screening potential duplicates in bibliographic data

1	screen_duplicates(x, max_file_size)

`x`	An (optional) object of class `data.frame` or `bibliography` to open in the browser. If empty, the app will launch with no data. Data can be added within the app via the 'import' button.
`max_file_size`	Optional argument to set the maximum file size (in MB) that the app will accept.

This app is effectively a wrapper for find_duplicates, with the added option to manually screen pairs of duplicates to check the results. Consequently, this is a more reliable method than extract_unique_references of dealing with the duplicates identified by find_duplicates, and for testing whether that function has returned sensible results for a given dataset.

This function launches a Shiny app in the users' default browser, allowing the user to customize their parameters for duplicate detection, and visualise the results.

screen_titles or screen_abstracts for manual screening of individual articles.
